The Mystery Ladies Story

It was very late when we arrived at the hotel. We have been traveling in the car for 10 hours straight. I was so tried of being cram up in my little black Nissan with boxs and bags all over the car. Well I guess I should introduce myself. Hi, I am Desiree’ Gant, but the world knows me as Desire Littrell of the Mystery Ladies. The two other girls are Kat Fantasy Carter (Lauren) and Angie Ann Destiny (Angela). This is our story of how we made it to the top. For those who don’t know what we look like or act like, I am going to tell you.

Kat has curly dark brown hair that is just past her shoulders, dark brown eyes, muscles, just a little short than me and Angie but don’t be fool by her height, and medium tan skin. Kat is the funky, crazy one of the band. Kat loves to go dancing, and she love to shake what her mamma gave her. Kat is very outgoing; she loves to talk. She wears the tie-dye, the big earings, all the chains, and all the jewelry.
Destiny has long black hair, dark brown eyes but she wears color contacts so you don’t know what color they might be the next day, built, has a very beautiful face, and tan skin. Angie is crazy but not as crazy as Kat. She loves to sing, but she has the talent to. Music is her life, well music is all of are lives. She can’t go where without baggy pants.
I have golden blonde hair to my shoulders, deep brown eyes, long legs, tight muscles and fare skin. I can get crazy sometimes ,but I am the oldest so I have to make sure everyone is where they are suppose to be and doing what they are suppose to be doing. When someone is in trouble or has a problem they come to me. I am very caring, informed,and shy, but don’t get me wrong I like to party too. I wear anything from the tight pants to the baggy. I just don’t have one style. Now back to the story.
As I step out of the car Kat came running up to me. She grab my arm and said “Man I can’t belive we made it. I can’t belive we are here.” I look at her and my face had a big grin on it. It was like she was reading my mind. I couldn’t belive we actually going yo make it. All the hard work was finally going to pay off. Angie wasn’t to far behind Kat because the next second I heard Angie running up behind me. I turn around just in time because I would have found myself lying on the ground if I didn’t. I stop her from running straight into me.
“We aren’t there yet, but if we do this gig right I know we’ll make it,” I declared. Just few days ago we were siting in class as we all got called to the office. It surprise me when I walk into the office to see both Angie and Kat. The principal had something very important to say about our performance the other night at the talent show. At the talent show we amazed everyone, and no one could stop talking about it. All we did was show the school we could sing. We show them aright, they couldn’t stop clapping. Our principal had a cousin that work at Jive. She was so impress by are performance she just had to call him. Her cousin, Joe, was very eager to meet us, so he told his cousin to get us down to Florida right away. Jive is station both in Orlando, Florida and in New York, New York. Joe work at the one in Florida. We made it to Florida and now tomorrow we get to meet him. He had got us a gig to sing at the new cafe in town call The Music Cafe. I am so nervous even if I know the songs and the choreograph down pack. Why should I be nervous we have been practicing 24/7.
“Yeah, yeah Kev, we know,” Angie said with a laugh. They call me Kev because I am the one that makes them work and keeps everything straight. Without me they would be having a real hard time practicing. All they like to do is mess around! Someone is got to be there to make them work.
“Well, I guess we should be getting some sleep, right guys! Oh come on, we really need to get some sleep or we are going to put on a poor show.” I could just see it in their eyes, man this girl is nuts, she thinks we really going to go to sleep. “Ok, you guys just stay up and party, but I want to actually make it.” They look at me very funny.
“Ohhh Ok, we will go to sleep,” Lauren quietly said. Ha I knew that would work. We all stumble up to our rooms. “Well I guess I am a little tired,” she said while falling on the bed.
“Good-night, sweet dreams, I know we will do just fine tomorrow.” I shut the door and went into my room. We each had are own rooms. Maybe now I can finally get some sleep. I kick off my shoes and slip into the bed. I just lay there in my bed staring at the ceiling. I began to think about my future and what would happen if we did it gig right. I thought about how I would act and then I made a promise to myself that no matter what happen I will not let this go to my head. After about 3 hours I finally fell asleep.
Morning came to soon. Finally when I fall asleep the phone rings to let us know it is time to get up. I slowly got out of my bed. I walk outside and beat on the door where Angie was staying. “Hey sleepy get up, we have a lot of stuff to do today.” I yell out. Than I look around to make sure I hadn’t accidentally woke up the other people. Angie peek out the window and gave me a sign that she was up. Than I walk to Kat’s door and did the same, but this time I made sure I didn’t yell as loud. I went back into my room and got ready to leave. We don’t meet him until tonight but we got to go shoping, touring, and we need to practice. Anyway it not that early it is 11:30 but we didn’t even get here until 5:00 am. I guess that would be early for Angie because if she can she would sleep until 2:00 pm. We all piled up in Angie’s jeep. Both Angie and Kat has a jeep but Angie’s is cleaner.
“So where do you guys want to go,” Kat ask.
“Yo, I have got to go to the mall. I just have got to get the BSB’s new c.d..”
“To the mall, so which is the way to the mall,” Angie said very confuse.
“I think it’s that way,” Kat said while having her finger across Angie’s face. “No, wait I think it’s that way,” now pointing right. “Naw its got to be that way. Wait no that way.” I start to see this is going to take a long time. I began to dig in my purse.
“Make up your mind, is it right or left,” Angie shouts.
I pull out a little map that I have been looking for. Angie looks at me like why didn’t you tell us you had a map. “Take a left here, than a right at the stop sign, than make anough right and there should be the mall.” We finally found ourselves at the mall. We jump out of the jeep. Kat and Angie start to run, so I had to show them. I beat them to the door. I left them standing in a pile of smoke. Angie does one of those faces at me. The one she looks at you kind of mad and than start to smile. I was now ready to do anything.

We spent the last part of the morning or what felt like morning shopping. We all bought the new BSB cd and got similar outfits for tonight (baggy pants with a blue or purple Tommy shirts). When we were finish shopping we headed to the car. Just than a heard a familiar voice. I whip around to come face to face with Brian Littrell. I drop the bag I was carrying, and the expressions on my face totally went blank. I bent down to pick up my bags and at the same time Brian bent down to help me. I look up into his eyes and gave him a smile. Feelings began to come over me. I couldn’t belive that I had just met Brian Littrell the guy I have been in love with for 3 years. The guy that change my life without knowing. The guy I had wrote over 50 songs and poems about. He look into my eyes and return the smile back.
He help me back up. “Hello sweets, what is your name,” he said in the sexiest voice I have ever heard.
Trying to stay cool I said, “Hi, I am Desiree’ Gant”, slowly I put my hand out for a shake.
He shake my hand and said, “What a beautiful name for a beautiful young lady.” I gave him a fantasize expression. I look behind me to see where Kat and Angie was, but they were no where in sight.
“Brian, oh man, I can’t see my friends. Now how am I suppose to get to the Music Cafe tonight.”
“The Music Cafe? Thats where I am going tonight. I could give you a ride.”
“That would be very helpful but I got to find my friends. They are going to kill me. I got to get to the jeep, fast!” I grab Brian’s hand and we ran to the jeep. There stood by the jeep was Angie and Kat. I look to my left to see I had bought Brian with me. I stop running and let go of Brian’s hand. Than I place both of my hands on my face. I felt Brian’s hand on mine. Slowly I took my hands off my face. “Oh Brian I am sorry.”
“Desiree’ thats ok, I didn’t mind going on a quick run.” Than he gave me one of those grins that you would die for. I felt so embarrass and stupid. I just couldn’t believe I did that. He didn’t even know me for a 10 minutes and I are ready did something unbelievably stupid. I look at Kat and than Angie.
“Ummm Desire, umm.. is that who I think it is,” Kat said looking very confuse.
“Yes, if Brian is who you're think about than yes.” Brian stare at me. I could tell he was very confuse to. “Brian, this is Kat and Angie, and together we are the Mystery Ladies. Tonight we have a gig at the Music Cafe. We are suppose to be meeting Joe from Jive.”
“Cool, Joe has been talking about a girl band with 2 18-year-olds and one 17-year-old. He says that you guys are going to be one of the hottest new bands around, and that he can’t wait to hear you.”
“Really, he said that,” Angie ask. Brian gave a nod. “Cool!”
“Brian, I hope to see ya tonight, and I am sorry for what I did. Oh and tell the guys they have been a big inspiration to us.”
“I will tell them that, but you could tell them yourself tonight,” and with that he walk away.
I watch him leave and under my breath I whisper, “bye my love.” Both Kat and Angie jump me. “How the hell the you meet him,” they both said at the same time. So I told them how. When I finish telling them we left. We drove around town for a hour or two. Around 5 we went back to the hotel. We all went into my room, so we could practice.
“Whats wrong Desire,” Angie said very concern.
“Oh nothing, I just meet the guy of my life, and made a fool of myself.” A tear ran down my face. “I know he doesn’t like me.”
“Desiree’ Gant!!! You don’t know that. I am sure he likes you.”
“Whatever, lets just practice,” I said. “On three lets start singing “Your Loven”. One...Two.”
“MeeMeeMee”, Both Angie and Kat sang.
“Three”
“I can never have your loven’, no mater what I dream, no mater what I hope for.. our love can never be.........”, we sang.
“Yes!!!! We great.. we hit all are notes perfect.” Kat scream. We gave each other a high-five. “Now lets sing “Just For You””! They both trun around and look at me.
“What? I know my notes. I was just messing around last time.”
Angie started, “I used to think I could take on the world.”
“I thought if I wanted to, I could fly,” Kat sang. They sang their verse wonderfully.
Yeah it is my turn, “Your the best thing to happen in my life.......” They gave me a look and than gave me a few high-fives! When the song was over we sat down.
“Man we are so ready for tonight,” Angie shouted. She look like she was about to cry, but she wasn’t.
“You guys remember the choreography for “Lets Party”,” I said while jump off the chair.
“Yeah, sure, but I think we should go over it,” said the cruly black headed girl (hehe).
“I also think we need to go over it,” Angie sang.
“Ok, Angie, lets not start singing everythink we say!” I walk over to the tape player and put in the music we had prerecorded. I pres play and ran to my spot. “Are you ready!”
“Yeah”
“Oh, I am so ready” Kat yelled.
“Welcome everybody come join the fun,” we heard on the tape sing. Right arm over one, two and then left, spin. “Now put you hands up in the air.” We make up the choreoghy ourselves. It is a lot of fun dancing and singing. Our dances have spice, and a zap to it. Everyone always looks at us when we go dancing. We had lots of people ask how do you do that, and we show them. Most of the times they can’t get it.
After the song was over we were sweating from head to toe. “Man what a workout,” Angie said while wiping the sweat off her face.
“Yeah it was, I haven’t workout in two days. Well, I guess we should get ready we only have a few hours before it is time to go to the Music Cafe.” We all agree that it was time to get ready, so everyone went back to their rooms. We took our showers and got dress. I came out with my new baggy pants and my light blues shirt. Angie had on her new baggy pants and a dark shirt. Kat was wearing her baggy pants and a purple shirt. We look to cool.
“So, which car are we taking,” I said while looking at my little car. Man I really need to get a new one. It is 91 and the year is 2001! Yeah it is time to get a new car.
“I guess we could take mine again,” Angie said. So we all got into her jeep and we were off. I was flipping though the radio stations, and than I hear one of the BSB old songs “As Long As You Love Me.” “Man I haven’t heard this song for a while!”
We started to sing it, “ I don’t care who you are, where your from, what you did, as long as you love me...” I natural sang Brian’s parts, Angie took Nicks, and Lauren., wait I mean Kat took AJ’s.
“I can’t wait to see Brian again” I said while staring out the window (hey, isn’t that the name of one of the songs I wrote). “I sure he doesn’t want to see me though.”
“Damn It Desiree’! Nookie.” Both Kat and I punch her. “Man I said nookie! Don’t say that, Desire. If you just give him a chance to see who you really are. I am sure he like you”
“What if your wrong, Angie. I won’t be able to face him. Only if he knew just how much I care. If he know how he makes me feel and how he change me life. I wish I could tell him! Everynight I pray. I find myself crying myself asleep ,because I know I will never be able to tell him and he will never know.”
“You’ll get you chance. We know how you feel about him,” Angie said trying to make me see that I will get my chance one day.
“Yeah, you know, but Brian doesn’t.”
“Oh come on Desire, he’ll know one day. I’ll make sure he knows.”
“Angela if anyone should tell him how I fell it going to be me who tells him!”
We turn the corner and there was the cafe. We pulled up in the back. Kat jumps over the door of the jeep. While we were waiting to go in we deiced we would sing something a cappella.
“Lets sing “It’s So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday,” Angie suggested. We look at each other and gave a little nod. Just than The Backstreet Boy’s tour bus pulled in, but we didn’t notice it.
Brian jump out and he grab Nick’s arm and pulled him close so he could whisper something into his ear. “Nick, man look it the Mystery Ladies. Desiree’ is so hot and I want to get to know her.”
“Where, I don’t see him,” Nick said in a loud tone.
“Be quiet they haven’t seen us yet. Let see what they're up to.” Brian motion Nick and the other guys to follow him. I trun around because I thought I heard something. They duck behind a tour bus, so I didn’t see them.
“Desire what’s up,” Lauren ask.
“Oh nothing, I just thought I heard something. I guess my ears are playing tricks on me. Are we going to sing or what?”
“Ok, lets start on your note Desire!”
“How do I say goodbye to what we had? The good times that made us laugh.” Are voices rang out though the parking lot.
The boys just look at each other. Than Brian spoke out, “Man, that’s good, that sound better than us!”
“Ok now I know I heard something that time.” I look behind me. “Ok, whoever is there you can come out now. I know someone is there.” I peek under one of the busses, and I saw a five pair of feet. “Whoever is behind this bus you better come out!”
Kat look at me and said, “Desire are you ok!”
“Yeah, I am ok, but those five people behind the bus wont be in a few minutes.” Kat and Angie started to laugh.
“Ok, we give up!” I saw Brian walk out behind the bus with his hands on his head and than the other four walk out with there hands on their head.
With a laugh I said, “you can take your hands off your head.” I had to turn around because I was laughing to much. Man, does Brian look funny, and so cute and not to mention fine! When I caught my breath I turn back around, but when I saw how innocent their faces look I couldn’t help but to start up again. I caught my breath once again and ask them, “So what do you think of our singing?”
“Yeah, what do you think? We would really like to know,” Kat said. I look over at Angie and all I could see was fantasize expression. I knew of who she was thinking about, AJ. Why shouldn’t she, ever since the concert in Dallas, Texas in the summer of 98 she been in love with him. I can’t belive she scared him. She was singing and dancing at the concert, and AJ walk over to her side of the stage. He wave at her, and Angie was stun, than she started to scream and wave back. AJ gave her a look and walk away, but later in the song he came back and wave to her again.
Brian broke my thoughts. “I thought it was great, to be honest I think that was better than how we sing!”
“I was wonderful,” Howie admitted.
“I thought it was marvelous, so your the band that Joe is here to see!” Kev said.
“Your singing is sensational. I know you guys will make it!” AJ said while smiling at Angie. “Don’t I know you, I seen you somewhere before.”
“Mmm I don’t think so. I been to many of your concerts. Maybe you seen me in the crowd and my face just stuck in your mind.” She thought to herself, man I don’t know which one I like. I like both Nick and AJ and so does Kat. What is with us always liking the same guys!
“So Nick what do you think?” Kat ask him.
“Mmmm..” He place his hand on his face. We look at each other and the guys all look at Nick. Brian gave him a little punch. “ I say your guys are going to been the hottest new bands around. I loved your singing!”
I look at my watch. “Ahhh.. we are suppose to be on in 2 minutes!!! Come on we got to go!” We all dash like a mad rabbit into the cafe.

More to come later!!!!
